Well, I'm not so sure that good and evil can't be separated; so, if the CK has more than passing influence on the Tower, if it is in fact the pinnacle of evil itself, then I'd say that Roland is...

Don't forget that time passes differently in various worlds.

Everyone makes choices, but the CK still can't simply choose to destroy the Tower. Between the element of fate and the element of choice is the element of power. I think that clarity on how these...

Perhaps he would be better off dead.

The flip side of the question, "Is the Crimson King truly insane?" is Roland's big question: Is Gan truly sane? To answer whether the CK is right to try to...

You should read it again. Keep in mind Roland is made by the tower, like everything else. I believe Roland and CK are the same. In fact it is almost impossible they aren't.[/QUOTE]Is it, then, almost...

Well, please send our regards.

Say, that reminds me. Where is Wuducynn?

I do believe the Crimson King is largely conscious of the situation. After all, his "kingdom" is transdimensional in nature."In order for order," you say. :orely: That way lies madness. If chaos...

In matters of the Tower, there is no such thing as "before."
:panic:
Think about that... and you might just end up as crazy as Tweedledee and I. :D:cyclops:

Well, I really appreciate your earlier compliment, even if we don't agree totally. I do think that that is part of it, too, though. The puzzler is: Did his origin cause his destiny or did his...

Yar, and the fact that one of the roses had to be used along with the blood of Eld in order to get the color supports the idea that CK's experience with the Tower is what makes him more than mortal....

It's a paradox, obviously, if his motivation for trying to destroy the Tower is his frustration at the results of his failure to destroy the Tower. Which came first?
Quite possible, though, I...
